Anaconda Intra Club Gala

Vicki Catchpole

Fanstatic racing by all who participated at the Anaconda Intra Club Swim Gala last Sunday.

Over 70 swimmers, from fitness and academy to national performance squads, were divided into 6 teams and competed in 24 races over 3 hours at the Cally Pool.
 

Shout out to Anaconda Team Captains

Six team captains have done a fabulous job, from assigning swimmers to individual and relay races to encouraging and cheering the youngest of swimmers to swim their fastest. They have demonstrated great leadership and inspired the younger swimmers who looked up to them to give their best. 

Team 1: Elijah Napolitano

Team 2: Lily Waite

Team 3: Evelyn Cole

Team 4: Annabel Dewhurst

Team 5: Alec Selwyn

Team 6: Cian McCarthy

Full results to be published shortly - the winner of the gala is Team 5, led by Alec!

Team 5 - Alec Selwyn
